Dedications

This book is dedicated to Jo Ann and Frank Bauer, who fueled my desire to learn, read, and write and to my husband, Horst, and our children, Nicholas and Alexander, who are carrying on the tradition.

This book is dedicated to my parents, Ilhan and Fulda Erdogan, who were my role models and first introduction to life in academia. I also dedicate this book to my husband, Emre, and our son, Devin, for their love and support.
